As for the good news, the network announced it had renewed Murder in the First, Major Crimes and The Librarians.

Murder in the First will return for its third season in the summer of 2016 with 10 new episodes. Also returning in the summer of 2016 will be Major Crimes which will be entering its fifth season. Right now, the order stands at 13 episodes, but that may change later. Finally, The Librarians will return in the fall of 2016 entering its third season with a 10 episode order.

Now the bad news, while the network renewed three dramas, it also cancelled three dramas.

Legends has been cancelled after two seasons. Many were surprised when the series was renewed for a second season. They series was completely overhauled with new cast members and a new direction fro the series. Agent X never caught on with an audience and was widely panned by critics, so its cancellation doesn't come as a surprise.

The heavily hyped Edward Burns period drama Public Morals although well-received by critics, also never caught on with an audience.

The network will roll out a total of 10 shows this summer, including new seasons of the blockbuster hits The Last Ship, basic cable's #1 new series of 2014; Rizzoli & Isles and Major Crimes, which joined The Last Ship to rank as basic cable's Top 3 originals last summer; and Murder in the First, one of last year's Top 10 new series on basic cable. This summer, TNT will also present the fifth and final season of the epic sci-fi drama Falling Skies, along with a new season of the nail-biting undercover drama Legends and new episodes of the powerful real-life investigation series Cold Justice.

TNT has renewed its freshman series Legends for a 10-episode second season. With the renewal of Legends, all the new series that debuted last summer have been renewed, including Murder in the First and The Last Ship.

During its first season, Legends averaged 3.2 million viewers with Live +7 factored in and when you factor in the multiple platforms it was available on, that number jumps to 6.5 million viewers.

Based on the award-winning book by master spy novelist Robert Littell, Legends stars Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings) as Martin Odum, a FBI agent with the ability to transform himself into a different person for each job. The series was developed by Howard Gordon, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and Mark Bomback.

TNT is gearing up for an explosive summer with three action-packed dramas in the lineup, including the fourth season of returning hit Falling Skies and the launch of the new series The Last Ship and Legends. TNT announced the summer airdates and unveiled new video trailers for the three shows prior to today's panel discussions with the stars and producers at SXSW, the annual music, film and interactive conference and festival held in Austin, Texas. In addition, TNT will provide SXSW attendees with a sneak peek of The Last Ship by hosting a special watch party of the entire first episode.
